Veronica ‘Wiri Mist’
Nikon NIKOMAT FT, NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 + 12mm Extension Tube – 1/30s, f11 – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

Another image from a recently developed roll of Foma Pan 200.

Given the age and condition of the NIKOMAT FT/NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 combination I’m incredibly happy with this image, metering was with the camera’s own light meter and both the lens and the Vivitar 12mm extension tube were charity shops finds… the extension tube quite recently!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

LNER class J72 0-6-0T 69023
Panasonic Lumix GF-1, Lumix G Vario OIS 14-45 f/3.5~5.6 at 28mm, 1/320s, f8, ISO 400

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

15 years ago it was this beautifully restored London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) class J72 0-6-0 tank locomotive at Swanwick Junction on the Midland Railway-Butterley.

Although built to a North Eastern Railway (NER) design dating from 1898 this sole remaining example was built in 1951 by British Railways (BR) at Darlington Works.

If memory serves 69023 was visiting the MR-B for a weekend-long model railway exhibition.

This Ford Popular 103E caught my eye a couple of months ago and with the permission of its owner I snapped a few frames, on both film, and digital.

Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.

An image from this time last year! At first the roll was in the ‘to be developed’ queue and then it was in the ‘to be digitised’ queue!

…and I really must get some more Adox HR-50!
